Transmission Distance
The maximum transmission distance is determined by the frequency and resolution of the
transmitted signal. The table below shows the maximum transmission distances (in feet and
meters) and the transmitter Pre-peak switch positions using Extron Enhanced Skew-Free AV
UTP cable or UTP CAT cable, terminated with RJ-45 connectors.

NOTE: The maximum distance is defined as the distance from the first input signal
source to the last output signal display, regardless of the number and type of
devices between.

NOTE: The transmitter and receiver are designed for and perform best with Extron
Enhanced Skew-Free AV cable terminated in accordance with the TIA/EIA T568A
standard. CAT 5 cables are acceptable but less preferable. Using pre-terminated
and tested cables is also recommended. Cables terminated on-site should be
tested before use to ensure that they comply with Category 5 specifications.
